There's little info on what it works on (locked bootloader etc), so why don't you ask Chainfire ?

I don't even think ChainFire knows. Would be really cool if it does work on our Phone though! Would finally remove need for a PC.

Because his thread is gonna get flooded with posts now that his app has made big news! Furthermore, his thread is about ALL devices. This thread is specific to OUR device. Why you being grumpy and hasslin' me?

Haha! I'm not trying to hassle you! I just know that no one knows better than Chainfire about his own app, plus he responds to everyone. This thread would be just conjecture...

I have tested FlashFire on my locked bootloader I337 S4 and my G900T and it works. Still testing but it appears this will be our safestrap replacement.
I will update my update and keeproot thread once testing is complete.

Yes...a possible end to Safestrap and ODIN with PC madness....

Very exciting, and given 5.0 is now widespread and the lack of a recovery solution supporting 5.0 on locked BL devices, I will quickly adopt it into the my threads. Suspect others will also.

Most excellent. So does this mean we have a replacement for SafeStrap or ODIN? Or BOTH!?

it allow to flash g900f rom in g900v with locked bootloader? I need to change rom language

It allows you to flash ROMS without safestrap. Only stock ROMS will work with 900v, due to the locked bootloader.

Only touchwiz based ROMs?

Your question is a little ambiguous.
1. FlashFire works for more than just TouchWiz
2. The Non-Developer Verizon S5 has a locked bootloader....as such, only TouchWiz ROMs (some people might say TouchWiz = Stock...but that is misleading) will work on the device.

It wasn't a question; it was a correction with a question mark to soften the blow.

Or maybe THAT was to cover up my mistake, we'll never know!

Magisk on S7?

I just switched from a Sprint Galaxy S6 to a Verizon Galaxy S7 and it's a drastic change to me lol.. First off, I wanna know if Magisk (Systemless root and Xposed) works on here and how I would go about flashing it on this device. I had the most *****in' setup on my S6, so I'm trying to replicate it to some degree.
I haven't heard anything about custom recoveries for the S7 just yet, anyone have an idea? Sorry for my noobish appearance here lol, I just need an introduction because I'm missing out on so much without my root and Xposed.
EDIT: I may have posted this in the wrong thread. If so, could a mod move it to the proper place.
Note- I am of course referring to the G930V in this post. I'm on the APH1 update.

No custom recoveries yet. The root method at the top of this forum works and gives you access to xposed. That's the best option we have right now.

Eh, I guess I will have to deal with what I have for now. Thanks for the reply.

Are there any custom kernels that can be used with the Verizon S7?

He needs us996 testers right now. He's got me to test for the vs995 ?
Actually there are probably 10 more people with Verizon that would like to test but it seems that not many us996 users are on XDA.

Cool...no problem gotta get my root on..Hope its easy .Been playing with Nexus for a few years and that ish was simple.

As the title says I am in need of testers for Lineage OS/CM14.1 that I built from source for the US996, any problems faced with Lineage OS/CM14.1 for the H918 (T-MOBILE) will be same as the US996 (Unlocked). Once I get back solid feedback I'll post this in the development section.
**As for VS995 I am working on it, just got the FW files I needed thanks to @imucarmen**
Prerequisites
- Root
- TWRP (Latest version)
- Knowledge of recovering from bootloops!

No need to be sorry, if your a us996 (unlocked) user you can test you'll most likely get a response out of it. If you're a vs995 (Verizon) user it'll have you in a bootloop. With that being said TEST AWAY! lol

I feel you on that part... but currently someone is working on the second screen there going deep with it , there going to create or reverse engineer the API for the second screen or something of the sort. I really hope it works out, then the v20 with Lineage OS or stock AOSP would be mint!

Thank you for testing, I'm uploading a fresh build I just made. Hopefully this one boots!

NEW BUILD
TEST AWAY! BEWARE OF CATS, THOSE MF'S BITE

Vs995 boots!
@OneDon It booted!
Flashed ARM64 7.1 nano gapps and it works. Stock gapps also works.
Wi-Fi works
Time service crashes during setup and it crashed when I changed it to the 24 hour clock but that's it. It doesn't seem to be an issue.
You have the name as the us996. Not important but figured I'd let you know.
Default cam is working but touch to focus doesn't seem to respond. Auto focus was working though.
Substratum is working .... Partially...I just broke it applying more stuff with substratum :[ Not booting now....dirty flash fixed it
Overall this Rom is ready for it's own thread so it gets more attention and more users can test it out.

Is there any way to get stock Nougat firmware on a s8?

I hate Samsung's modified firmware they preload you with. Is it possible to get stock Nougat on this? Thanks.

You could try a "package disabler" type application on the Google play store, never used one myself but it says it disables bloatware without root.
I know... not exactly what you asked for but somewhat useful.
Kind regards.

Does LineageOS work for the G930A?

Doesn't seem like much activity around it... Lots of G-930's listed on LineageOS' device info page, but not the A...

I can provide you an unlocked bootloader for G930A, so then u will be able to root and install custom rom. Root works perfect for me.

But, Lineage is not gonna work. Only root. Go to google and write "Galaxy S7 AT&T Root Oreo" and then try to find a page called androidsage, they are providing the working ENG BOOT for Galaxy S7 AT&T.
